Abstract

Bruner argues (in Slameto,2010:11) , it would be nice if the school could provide opportunities for students to progress quickly according to students' abilities in certain subjects. To improve the learning process needs an environment called discovery learning environment. Thus learning media have roles and functions that greatly influence teaching and learning. The instructor of the learning media itself is a teaching aid that also influen ces the climate, conditions and learning environment that is organized and created by the teacher. Hamalik (1986) suggests that the use of instructional media in the learning process can generate new desires and interests, generate motivation and stimulation of learning, and even bring psychological effects to students. In the teaching and learning process, the teacher has the duty to encourage, guide, and provide learning facilities for students to achieve goals. The role of the media is very important to assist teachers in achieving these goals. Especially in cognitive students, because learning is influenced by the frequency of encounters with stimuli or the provision of the same or similar stimulus and response made in the form of learning media. The purpose of this paper provides an understanding of the importance of the role of learning media in the development of students' stimulus abilities in cognitive thinking. So the role of the teacher is needed in the development of appropriate learning media. Keyword : learning, learning media, cognitive thinking
